So, German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger becomes Pope Benedict XVI. The guy is 78 years old. My Catholic coworkers seem to think he's just an "interim" Pope. In otherwords, he's the guy that gets the job between Pope John Paul II and the next Pope.
It's kind of like when your football team needs a new quarterback, but in the interim, you sign Vinny Testaverde to a one-year contract.
